raise the age for medicare, should we try to change the system and have a fee for service, has the obama administration done a lot to lower the cost of health care going forward so we don't need to do much more? what do you think is in practical terms what needs to be done on health care if you poll people they say we all want to cut medicare celerity want to go dealing with that piece of the puzzle? >> that reminds me when i was in graduate school i went to study foreign policy and was right around the time they balanced the budget and i thought my gosh what am i going to do? so i realized the long-term problems were still there and i had to make a choice whether social security or health care and it was easy, social security is easy supply jumped into becoming a social security expert because health care is so hard. they're really is no other issue at the core of all of this. we don't know the answers and the best thing that we can do right now is putting in place as many different attempts to control health care costs and evaluating what works so we don't with a fork or not we've seen

we do have some smart proposals, i think, coming out of the obama administration that would sort of move this along. on the other side of the ledger, culture, right? which, you know, when you look at popular media, you still basically see the repetition of the old stigma. um, and i would put on the other side of the ledger some of these really worrisome issues about some of the wage trends. so in theory what you'd want is you'd want a national campaign here, right? i mean, you'd really want the federal government to basically seize the moment, carpe diem, let's move ahead. if we don't have that, how do people perceive the next three or five years? let's say we get seven states, ten states, we get dozens of mayors and county leaders to do what matters with their business leaders, with their university leaders, with the skills. can we have a true renaissance lacking of center? i mean, how do you think this plays out? >> >> i absolutely think so because, look, the action is at the local level. >> right. >> you know, people aren't waiting around for washington, d.c. to figure things out. >>
